How many times have you said this to a doctor or practitioner? How many times have you
been shot down by a sharp tongue without an understanding of your position?

It is really sad that most of the medical profession looks upon people having IC as
“OCD” or “neurotic” as one patient put it refusing to acknowledge her feelings.

No doubt when you have this condition, you become “crazy”, but who wouldn’t be
crazy with the symptoms that this condition causes? But, just because you became
a little crazy since you became ill does not mean you were in the first place!

This is the climate of belief over this condition in Western medicine today. And,
perhaps among some who practice alternative medicine as well. This is sad,
because this tells me that those people having this kind of belief system do not really
understand  the condition.
 
It is true that any kind of person can get any disease including IC, a big person, a little person, a fat person, a skinny person, old, young, nice, old, depressed or happy, and even a crazy person. But all crazy people do not get IC, IC just makes you feel a little “crazy”.
